In the “Windows” series of my paintings I make references to the classic artworks from European, Russian, or Finnish art, putting their details outside the window. For me, paintings created many years or centuries ago, can provide us with profound insight into a wide range of subjects, helping us to understand the present and the people who live in it, revealing timeless truths about human nature, society, and culture.

When I started showing my artworks to different audiences, I noticed that the works of, for example, Finnish artists are not very well-known outside of Finland, and the works of Russian masters are often unfamiliar to the European audience. That's when I decided that it would be appropriate to provide a list of paintings I made references to while working on this series.
